The Beginning

Under Control - 1

I hate people.

Vickis memorial was nice...I guess. I mean the whole town came, which sucked. It's not like they even knew her. Sending condolences our way. I spent most of it crying because of the guilt. Having to lie to everyone, Matt, Kelly, Tyler, Jeremy.

The corner ruled her death an overdose. AN OVERDOSE.
I can't believe they picked the most believe thing ever.

And I have no idea when Kelly will break. She was trying, she was actually trying. When I got home that night she had actually made food. Homemade.
And now with Vicki's death. I'm worried she'll leave again. She putting a facade, but it's only a matter of time.

What I hate even more, is when the mayor pretends he's a concerned mayor.
He invited us to the founders party.

Yay.

Note the sarcasm. He didn't even like Vicki, neither did Carol Lockwood. Because we aren't rich or founders.

I'm wearing a green dress, it's simple, nothing fancy, because again I'm not rich.

"We're glad you could join us tonight" Mayor Lockwood tells us. Sure I'll play the part of thankful.

"It was nice of you to reach out to us" Kelly tells him. "This town is one big family, and when we lose a member, we all have to come together" Mayor Lockwood expresses.

He stretches a hand out to us, and we shake his hand. "Matt. Ariel. Kelly" Mayor Lockwood says before leaving with Tyler.

"So I guess dead kid rates a special greeting from the mayor, huh?" Kelly says sarcastically.

"God, mom"
"Kelly" Me and Matt scold.

She sighs and steps away "I need a drink" She mutters.

I groan. "Hey check it out!" Tyler whispers to us, holding a bottle of wine. "Ty your dads gonna beat you if he catches you" Matt scolds and Tyler pushes us forward.

"Yeah let him try" Tyler mutters, opening the bottle.

"Screw it" I mumble grabbing the bottle from his hand and drinking it down.

"Did we just enter an alternate universe where Stefan is fun?" Damon asks Elena as we enter the dance floor. Stefan changed the music and is dancing. "Is he gonna be okay?" Elena asks, looking at Stefan who's dancing with Kelly.

At least she's having fun. "Eventually. One way or another" Damon extends a hand to me. "Wanna dance?" I shrug. "Sure" He smiles and we dance, swaying to the music. I part from him and laugh "I need a drink" I say and walk to the bar.

After getting tipsy at the bar, I found Matt and force him to dance.

"Who'd knew we'd me missing all the fun at the founders parties?" He exclaims. "This is Rare, believe me" Elena says.

"Is it bad that we're enjoying our selfs?" I comment. Elena turns to us and smiles. "No it's great that you're enjoying yourself" Elena says with a smile. "Thanks for making me dance!" Elena exclaims. Matt smiles "No problem" He says as he hugs her.

"Air, I need some air. Come with me?" He says when they part.

"Have you seen Kelly?" I ask Elena as she puts her sweater on. "Um no, not in a while" Elena responds and turns to the door. We all step out and Elenas mouth hangs open. "Oh my god" She says making me and Matt turn to look and see Kelly kissing Tyler.

Oh that is low, low, low LOW!

Without warning Matt runs to them and throws Tyler off his mother. "What the hell are you doing man!" He yells at Tyler.

"Matt-" Kelly starts but Matt cuts her off. "Whoa. Dude, calm down" Tyler exclaims. In response Matt punches him in the face.

"Matt!" I yell. Tyler gets to his feet and punches Matt, Kelly gets behind Matt and tries to pry Matt away but when Tyler sends a punch in Matt's direction it sends Kelly flying and landing in the table, crashing in the floor.

"Tyler stop it!" Me and Elena yell as Tyler stands over him, punching him.

"Your hurting him!" I yell panicked. Tyler holds Matt right on the neck and Elena calls out for help. Alaric appears and gets Tyler off of Matt. When he does I rush to Matt's side.

"Are you okay!" I ask as I check his injuries.

I help Matt up and sit him down on a chair as mayor Lockwood address the crowd. "Everything's fine. Everything's fine everybody" He assures.
Son of a bitch

"Come on, everybody back to the party, let's go!" I let Elena tend to Matt's bruise and look around for Kelly. Because I can't find Kelly I take Matt home myself, leaving the party early.

Matt goes off into the house and I go to my room, and change clothes. When I finish I find Kelly opening the door to her room. "What are you doing?" She asks Matt. I poke my head in and see Matt putting her clothes in a bag.

"Matt, don't" She pleads. "I can't do it anymore, mom, so just go, all right?"

"You've done it more times then I can count" Kelly's face are filled with tears. "I'm not leaving you. Matty" She says and reaches out to him. "Mom!" He snaps making Kelly back away.

"Don't you get it? I'm better off without you, we're better off without you"

"No" Kelly yelled and grabbed his arm. "I know I failed you, and Ariel and Vicki. I promise, I'll change" Matt shakes his head.

"I want you out of the house, and my life my morning" He says believing leaving. Kelly watches him leave and cries. I stay glued to my spot, before rushing off after Matt. "Matt, think about this" I say, trying to reason with him.

"Why!" He snaps.

"You don't even like her!" I do!

"That doesn't mean I still don't care. Matt she's lost so much, her sister and now Vicki. I know what she did was wrong but she's still your mother" I plead.

He shakes his head and wipes away his tears.

"Like I said. I'm better off without her"
